CORONERS – Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to revise and establish provisions regarding the duties of county coroners.

Idaho's S 1101 revises county coroner duties by clarifying when they must investigate deaths (e.g., suspicious circumstances, deaths in custody, unattended deaths, or stillbirths with no medical explanation). It adds new requirements for coroners to notify parents before autopsies for minors under 18 and defines forensic pathologist roles. The bill repeals outdated rules about coroners appointing deputies and updates continuing education standards for coroners. These changes directly affect county coroners, law enforcement, and parents/guardians in death investigation processes. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
